Significance of the Conference
CUDIC 2024 is significant not just as a gathering of scholars and professionals but as a transformative event aimed at tackling the most pressing challenges of our time through the lens of technological disruption. The theme, “Leveraging Technological Innovations to Create the New Normal World,” resonates with the global need to rethink and redesign systems in the wake of unprecedented global changes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, climate crisis, and the rapid rise of artificial intelligence. Other sub-themes are woven around Sustainable Ecosystem, Artificial Intelligence, Architectural Design, Legal Curriculum, Digital Humanities and Strategies for Success through Science and Technology.
This conference is particularly significant for Nigeria and the African continent as it provides a platform to discuss how technology can serve as a tool for development in areas such as governance, business, healthcare, and education. It offers an avenue to explore Africa’s potential to lead in innovations that solve local problems while contributing to global knowledge and development. The conference is equally important for its focus on sustainability, highlighting how technological innovations can align with global goals like reducing poverty, promoting renewable energy, and fostering inclusive economic growth.
By bringing together leading experts and emerging voices from diverse fields, CUDIC 2024 seeks to be a space where groundbreaking ideas are not only shared but are also acted upon. The interdisciplinary nature of the conference allows for a cross-pollination of ideas, enabling participants to explore how disruptive technologies can be applied to solve real-world problems across multiple sectors. This significance extends beyond the conference as it will contribute to ongoing debates and innovations that will shape the future trajectory of global development.
